Default Re: D1 at Maple Grove or Jeg's Sportsnationals at Bowling Gr

Maple Grove is a good race track - the guys from D1 do a great job and, of course, they have a national event there. But, that being said, there is only one Bowling Green experience. It has everything that a drag racer could possibly want. The Shady Maple is what the Shady Maple is. But it cannot be compared to the restaurants of Bowling Green with a straight face. Also, I'm not sure they still give grade points for attending SportsNats. So it comes down to whether a racer has the time and money to tow down there from the Mid Atlantic. A racer will have the time of their life if they can make it to that race.

Thanks guys. I have decided to go to the Jeg's Sportsnationals at Bowling Green. I have never been to Bowling Green, and I have never been to the Sportsnationals; so I will be crossing 2 items off of my "bucket list"!

Good choice. Love the whole feel of BG, covered grandstands are nice too on those warm sunny days and the fans are always great. Only trouble I ever had there was finding the tree with the sun in your face in the late afternoon but believe they delay runs when it is particularly bad.

Why wouldn't they give grade points?

What other race gives you national points AND grade points?

I've never been to Maple Grove, but BG is awesome! Only gripe from last year's LODRS race was the PA system. Couldn't hear it in my pit spot or get a radio signal, but that is mostly due to my arrival time. Couldn't hear it very well in the covered stands either.

Don't forget that on Friday evening at 6 the Jones Family/ Jegs will have a racer cookout adjacent to the track.

I will surely miss the Cajun sportsnationals, which was the first Jegs sportsnational event. However, Bowling Green is a great venue. I think it will be a huge event. It may be one of the biggest sportsnational event in several years!

10-4, had a brain fade. Been so many years thinking of BG being a popular out of Division race for so many and of course will continue to be for the week before Indy. Love racing or spectating there.

Wise choice Bill! You won't be disappointed given class action. Just wish we were able to make it.
